Making ‘News’ With Murphy’s School Musical

R.C. Murphy Junior High School’s talented student-actors took to the stage this March to bring the Broadway classic “Newsies” to life.

Before packed audiences, including a complementary performance for district sixth-graders and senior citizens, the students told the tale of how the New York Newsboys went on strike in 1899, seeking fair wages for their work. The performers’ talent was evident from the opening number, and audiences were enthralled by the students on stage throughout the musical.
